ALL THINGS PRETTY AND PINK

So this month Gecko Galz  has teamed up with the company with Wild Abandon and if you have never seen their amazing digital stamps you are sooooo missing out on some lovely works. For my samples I loved their background papers and Flights of fancy stamps and came up with these two amazing cards.

FLIGHTS OF FANCY CARD

for this card I used one of Gecko Galz beautiful Ever After papers as my card base then added the Fleur des Les strip from With Wild Abandon as well as their winged dress form digital stamp. I inked the stamped image using yellow, pink and orange inks from Distress inks. I tied a piece of hand dyed silk ribbon around the waist and layered a strip of pink chiffon rose trim down one side of the Fleur paper strip and down the other side I used my Viva pearl pen in cream to add pearl accents. Using pop dots I layered on my mannequin.

TAKE FLIGHT CARD

For  this card I layered on a piece of paper from With Wild Abandon as well as their winged Marie Antoinette digital stamp. I also printed out the shabby chic frame from Gecko Galz fab frames collection and in photo shop I printed my sentiment "Take Flight". Using distress inks I inked Marie and the center of the frame and well as the outer edge of the card.

Then I added some amazing vintage fringe  along the edge to give it that girly girl flair!

FREEBY FRIDAY.......AT THE BALLET

When I was a little girl I dreamed of being a prima ballerina, I mean what little girl didnt dream of wearing those fluffy white tutus and flying across the stage with the greatest of ease. But alas and alak I did not have the ankles to do toe shoes so I stuck with modern dance and jazz for 15 years. But I still have a soft spot in my heart every time I see a picture of a ballerina. I thought it would be nice to share some vintage ballerina images with all of you to use in your crafting. Have fun with them!
